BOSS Audio Systems BCPA9 Car Stereo, CarPlay, Android Auto, Single DIN

I haven’t installed a car stereo in decades. Maybe a quarter century, even! Ended up being pretty simple. The 2009 Tahoe had an aftermarket stereo installed about 11 years ago. At the time, it was an Alpine 1U unit and the whole thing installed was $700+. Over time, the unit remained fine but technology had moved on. I really wanted to be able to connect my phone via BT and stream music. The Alpine, having no Bluetooth, meant an after-aftermarket Bluetooth dongle jacked into the Alpine’s rear-panel USB port. Sadly, the setup never worked exceedingly well, forcing me to hard-reboot the Alpine regularly to get BT running. What a pain. Time to stop with the hard reboots! 😹 I check out things online, want a screen, but not take up more than the 1U space reserved. This unit fit the bill just fine - ordered it with the 9” display. The original aftermarket receiver install used some PAC modules to interface the receiver with the steering wheel controls and other truck features. Hoped that changing the receiver wasn’t going to also force me to buy all new interface modules. The hardest thing was identifying the existing wire colors, making sure that this unit had the same setup, and then cutting out the old aftermarket harness and splicing in the new radio’s harness. Took maybe 45 min. Adjusted the PAC SWC-1 for Boss, and bam! it all worked fine. Great sound quality, excellent price, and a huge display. Definitely would recommend!!!

I installed this in my 2004 Corvette to replace the 1990 era radio that was from the factory. The unit is very nice. The head unit goes in the dash, and the display snaps into it. Android auto was my main reason for getting this and it works great. I also wanted a physical volume dial as my car does not have steering wheel controls and I did not want to have to fuss with finding the volume on the screen while driving. I can just reach for the dial instead. I was worried it might interfere with my gear shift, but the adjustability made it easy to position correctly. Sound quality has been great so far. Between the equalizer and balance/fade controls, I am able to get great sound in my car. I used a NATIKA backup camera and it connected with no issues. Some people complain that it is too bright, especially at night, and it is. I found the work around was to set it to Dark mode always. I do find it is very hard to see the display with my polarized sunglasses. Over all, it is a great addition to my car!

Great sound quality, screen plays and responds fast and clean, controls are easy to learn. Should be a bit cheaper but its a comfortable size for what it is

I bought this radio and after three months the FM/AM stations stopped working. It was replaced under warranty, but the new unit failed again after six months. This time, no audio worked at all. In addition, it would frequently disconnect from CarPlay and the maps would freeze while driving. Very frustrating and unreliable. I do not recommend this product.

This thing is the bees knees. Quick start up and the screen quality is fantastic. There is a lot of room for adjustment depending on your vehicle. Super easy install with the included cage. The CarPlay connects faster to my iPhone than my brand new Ram 1500’s stereo did. I love it

I installed this radio in my 2004 Chevrolet Colorado. I chose this unit because it would enable me to use my mobile phone hands free, and because it would enable me use map feature for navigation. It also enabled me to update the truck with a back up camera to help in tight spaces. I chose this unit because the swivel mounted screen enables me to tilt the screen for better visibility from the driver's seat. I enjoy the auto darkening of the screen for night operations, the radio functions quite well also. Great value for the amount I paid. I have had it in my truck for about a year now. I would say that the installation is best done by someone with soldering skills and the ability to locate and read a vehicle wiring diagram, so I would not recommend for beginners.

Loved this radio for my 1990 f250 for about 6 months. Keeps losing connection with Bluetooth or android audio. Keeps going back and forth between tuner and Bluetooth. Will see if they warranty.

I installed this on an early 2000’s car that I drive almost daily. The install was pretty simple for anyone who’s installed the head deck before. Make sure you get the right wire harnesses and you’re ready to run a few wires for your back up cam and mic assuming you choose to install them. It’s been at least over a year since I installed this head deck and I have not had any problems. CarPlay works well, the resolution is fine as well. There is a bit of lag when swiping through menus but not enough to be a dealbreaker and certainly not enough for me to lower my rating. With this unit being a single DIN that effectively becomes an adjustable double DIN I With this unit being a single DIN that effectively transforms into an adjustable double DIN, I would say it’s definitely worth the investment. Considering that the head unit protrudes past the console, it’s crucial to carefully consider whether your car is compatible.

Looks like a great product but unfortunately didn’t fit my car like I anticipated so had to return

Recién lo instalo, así que si presenta algún problema futuro con la durabilidad o fallos actualizaré, pero por ahora todo bien , funciona bastante bien con apple CarPlay, la pantalla tiene ajuste de altura lo cual ayuda a que no estorbe a otros componentes, creo que es una buena opción por el precio

Funciona muy bien . Tiene buena resolución

Ayer instálennos el Estéreo Boss pero el final Todo funciona, pero no hay Sonido. No se escucha el radio No se escucha el Navegador No se escucha cuando se hace una llamada No se escucha la música de mi teléfono Ya hice todo lo que marca el manual para esta Falla y NO FUNCIONA, NO HAY AUDIO. POR ESTAS RAZONES LO VOY A DEVOLVER

Put this unit in my Motorhome works great! All cameras work great love the size of the screen. Easy to use touch screen is great. Very happy with purchase. Have had for over a year now
